To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER citizenof the United States, residing atBrookline, in the county of Norfolk and State of Ili lassachusetts, haveinvented cer- MITCHELL, a

My invention relates to an improved. de-

such fashioi'i that the n'iaterial may be easily arranged in thepackage, thoroughly protected and so secured that the contents ofpractical purposes,

in which the material is secured. To this end I provide two covers ofcard- .board or the like, to one or both of which is attached aprojectin spindle or material receiving portion.

In the drawings, I have shown in Figure 1, an outline of a singlespindle blank and in Figure 2, an outline of a double spindle blank. InFigure 3, the package of Figure 1, complete, is shown in edge view. InFigure 41-, the package o f-Figure 2, complete, is shown in edge view.

In the drawing A and A are cover portions, and B and B package, thepackage material being creased (as shown in dotted lines) to formfolding or hinged parts, as at 0. The spindle parts preferably carry attheir ends heads, a. yAt the end of the cover portion, are sealing tabs,6. Apertures a, formed in heads a,

It will also be obvious that the covers, owing to their relative widthwill extend beyond the material, preventing any contact the material arethe loops also, within a The material therefore canof the materialcarried with outer things,

I claim;

1., A package for braid or the like, made up of a pair of relativelywide cover parts, connected at their ends and carrying a relativelynarrow spindle, or load receiving extension at the free end of thecover, adapted to be folded in between the covers.

2. A package for braid or the like, made up of a pair of relatively widecover parts, connected at their ends and carryinga relatively narrowspindle or load receiving extension at the free end of the cover,adapted to be folded in between the covers, the spindle being providedat its free end with an apertured head to receive, the end of the braid.i r

3. A package of braid or the like, made up of a pair of relatively widecover parts, connected at theirends and carrying a relatively narrowspindle, or load receiving extension at the free end of the cover,adapted to be folded in between the covers, the spindle being providedat its free end with an apertured head to receive the end of the braid,the braid being wound in helical coils about the spindle and its freeend threaded through the apertured head.
